Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Lexar Media Single-Slot USB 2.0 Multi-Card Reader (Model RW023-001)
Customer Review: Poor physical design
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this memory card reader for use with my digital camera's memory stick Pro. The reader does not have any kind of spring-loaded memory stick eject, or any eject button. You just have to pull the card out with your fingers. When a memory stick pro is fully inserted into the reader, the plastic edges of the reader are wider and longer than the card. Therefore, it is nearly impossible to grab onto the memory card - even with my tiny fingers. For someone who intends to use the reader with a card more-or-less permanently installed - it should be fine. The reader will close shut safely around the card. However, if you will need to insert and remove cards frequently, I DO NOT recommend this device. In my case, this physical design flaw makes the reader useless to me. I should note that although the plastic case design feels flimsy, it does open and close easily.
I gave it 2 stars because it DOES actually work for transferring data, and will suit the needs of SOME users.
Customer Review: Tacky
Summary: 1 Stars
This item works fairly well for its intended purpose. I returned it for two reasons: first, the flip-open access panel is made of such thin and wobbly plastic that it is fairly certain to malfunction; second, the cap won't stay on. Because of its crackerjack-toy quality, it was returned immediately for refund.

Customer Review: OK - but won't completely close with an SD card inside
Summary: 3 Stars
On the positive side this multi-card reader (RW023-001) is advertised as being able to recognize XD - picture cards and it also recognized the SDHC card that I have, while an earlier model JumpDrive Trio (JDT, rev C) did neither of these things. On the negative side, this newer model did not close completely when an SD card was placed inside of it. It seems some dimensional tolerances are not quite right. I tried several different manufacturer's SD cards. However, the SD card was still able to be read, if firmly seated electrically. It still seemed rather odd that the flip up lid would only partially close but then not slide tight as it did with the JDT model.Customer Review: I don't know what I can do with this
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this for easy transfer of pictures from my digital camera with SD memory card anywhere not home and sometimes from other peoples memory card (xD and memory stick)..
First of all I was disappointed with the flimsy, plastic design and the size of it. But it would have been ok if it worked!..IT DOESNT READ my SD card. And as menetioned in other people's review hard to insert and take out the cards! I'm scared if the cards get scratch and ruined whenever i do it. I wish I have bought this after reading amazon reviews...it's useless now. I'm lost how I can get sd card work on this and if I do, scared of frequent use for the flimsy design.

I have had one of these for two or three years and love it. Yes, I lost the cap fairly soon after getting it, but it's never been a problem. I don't travel with it often, and when I do I put it in Zip-Loc bag.
It saves me from having to connect my cameras to the computer to download photos and from having to connect my digital photo frame to load photos for display. I also used it as a data-trasfer device because my SD cards hold more than any of my flash drives.
It has proven to be durable, and inserting and removing the cards is not an issue at all. For the money, you can't beat it.
